Hailing from the very first recorded maple batch of J-45s (FON batch 2828), this guitar is a true gem and a rare bird in such remarkably original condition. The action and playability are top-tier, paired with a warm, punchy tone that retains stunning detail and clarity. Visually highlighted by striking flamed maple back and sides paired with a tight-grained spruce top, instruments like this rarely surface without major modifications or repairs. 5 ply maple neck with truss rod. Vibey checking with age crackling to the pickguard gives this guitar cool mojo while remaining impressively clean and original throughout. A true centerpiece for any serious collection, this is an incredible-sounding piece of guitar history from the greatest story ever told, the banner Gibson story of the Kalamazoo Gals.
